Adam Blair

[BDH]

The OP is an idiot.

Blair is pure passion. I'd have 3 of him in my team's backrow in a heartbeat.

ATM, he is playing with even more heart then ever, which may come across (on tv where you sit with your beer and fat gut) as niggle, but he has nothing to lose, why not take it to his opponents?

Great player, and when the Storm fiasco came out, he was the second I hoped Broncos would nab after Cronk!

 

[Perth Red]

I'd have him in my team every day of the week!

 

[Nugby]

Out and out grub but by no means Gallen-esque. Plenty of cheap shots but I haven't seen him rake the face of an opposing player, grab the testicles or knee someone in the head like a Sharks player would.

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Watching last nights game I was wondering how such a grub and an idiot that starts fights could possibly be NZ vice captain.

 

[sting]

yeah he's a piece of sh*t and a coward. always goes for the little guys. he singled out campese in a big scuffle last night and then last year when there was a big punch on he went straight after soward.

yeah real big man pffft

im pretty sure everyone in this thread has a agreed he may be a grub but if u put him in ur team he would be a welcome addition....i enjoy watching him play but hate it when he is against eels

 

[kia ora storm]

Blair plays the game on the line but he also adds the aggression that is needed in most teams.

 

[Meth]

I am really, really hopeful that he ends up at the Warriors. As it is, he is one of the best backrowers in the world at the moment and is still only very young

 

[Noa]

My only concern with Adam is that being a niggler (emphasis on the L) is what he is being defined as, he so much more to offer then that. Personally wouldnt mind seeing him at lock allowing him to roam and use his ball-skills alot more.

 

[Deleted member 10972]

I actually think his form is a bit down this year, especially compared to his strong form last year.

This year, averaging 9 runs for 59.5 metres average, only 1 line break this year too. Someone of his quality and playing style should at least be up around 75-85 metres a game.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

One of the best forwards in the game IMO. Wassup with the dodgy eyed look he had on his face the other night though

 

[little_aza]

For those who haven't seen it, I think this confirms he's a class act!

[NevilleB]

thats because he was booked for a piss weak tackle

 

[GC_Gladiator]

He is a good player but he has a lot more work rate in him than he shows. In the Kiwi jumper he knocks it up about 10 notches and looks like a top backrower with ball playing ability. For the storm he is a standard ball playing back rower who is an absolute prick.

 

[Zigwaa]

He's a dead-set grub. Everyone can see the grubby things he does during a game, but the commentators ignore what he does or say that deosn't look intentional.

Take what he did to Ben Cross. Jammed his elbow into his head and then into the ground and the commentators said it wasn't intentional? He looked down at him when he did it.

I can't stand to watch him play coz he doesn't play the game the way it is meant to be played. He's always looking for the cheap, dirty shot.

 

[Tom Ace]

He's definitely a grub of a player

ha ha, how long have you been watching RL for? It's not netball!

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

The point is, 90% of the stuff he does is not tough or intimidating, it's cheap and grubby. He's more likely to grab your nuts then put a big hit on.

Good player but definitely crosses the line from "enforcer" to "cheap-shot merchant". I don't think anyone is saying they don't enjoy the rough stuff, just that they enjoy genuine confrontation and not cheap shots.
